    This was causing some test apps to exit due to write failure under heavy
    load.
    
    This was due to a race around adding and removing tx frame skb in
    fcoe_pending_queue, Chris Leech helped me to find that brief unlocking
    period when pulling skb from fcoe_pending_queue in various contexts
    (fcoe_watchdog and fcoe_xmit) and then adding skb back into fcoe_pending_queue
    up on a failed fcoe_start_io could change skb/tx frame order in
    fcoe_pending_queue. Thanks Chris.
    
    This patch allows only single context to pull skb from fcoe_pending_queue
    at any time to prevent above described ordering issue/race by use of
    fcoe_pending_queue_active flag.
    
    This patch simplified fcoe_watchdog with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue by
    use of FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH instead previously used several conditionals
    to clear and set lp->qfull.
    
    I think FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH with FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH  will work better
    in re/setting lp->qfull and these could be fine tuned for performance.
